In the last quarter’s financial report, the biggest contributor to the 50% increase in AMD’s revenue was obviously the Ryzen processors. Radeon graphics cards were not specifically mentioned, but the RX 5000 series graphics card shipments had double-digit growth. In the earnings call, AMD CEO Su Zifeng also reiterated that he will launch a new graphics card in 2020. As it became clear later, he was speaking about the RDNA2 Architecture Graphics Card.
In answer analyst questions, Ma Su said that in the 2019 AMD launched RDNA graphics architecture. In 2020 you will see this product line refresh.
But in terms of players, the word refresh is different. As we know, in the past graphics card and even CPU history, refresh means a vest. This means that the original graphics card can be sold as a new card under a new name. Especially this refers to AMD in the past two years. This has been done on RX 480, RX 580 and other graphics cards.
So, when Su Ma said that the 2020 graphics card is a refresh upgrade, the word aroused strong repercussions. Everyone worries that AMD will repackage the RX 5000 series graphics card this year. IN this way it will become RX 6000 series.

The truth? Everyone is thinking about it. The Tomshardware’s website went to AMD for verification and confirmed. What Su Ma said about refresh, actually refers to a new generation of graphics cards. That is, 7nm + process RDNA2 Architecture Graphics Card.
According to previous news, Radeon product line director Mithun Chandrasekhar stressed that their new card will rewrite the 4K rules of the game.
